Jaeyoon Park, Addiction Becomes Normal: On the Late-Modern American Subject
Thinking beyond ‘outbreak’: The contentious politics of the science of early warning and overdose epidemic
Ambivalent pleasures: Towards narcofeminist alterlife
Visual and text-based art plays a role in constituting and sustaining international harm reduction social movements based on drug user rights. The digital arts of harm reduction examined in this article counter sociological discomfort with pleasure by performing the artisanal pleasures of craft, context, and practice. Through close examination of the Instagram hashtag #celestialheartbreak, the article centers work by artist Jamie Harary, whose qu…
Transnationalizing Critical Drug Studies
This essay explores transnational STS as an analytic capable of recognizing the heterogeneities, pluralities, and relationalities of drugs—legal and illegal, products of agriculture or laboratory—as emblematic material-semiotic actors that move between global North, West, South, and East and into and out of bodies. Critical drug studies flourishes as a transdisciplinary knowledge project at the nexus of anthropology, history, sociology, political…
Susan Boyd, Heroin: An Illustrated History
Rarely is heroin not demonised. This aesthetically rich history places the therapeutic value of heroin at the epicentre of Canadian movements for social justice. As a participant-historian, Boyd maintains an unwavering critical eye on Canadian drug policy. She chronicles the lively social ferment leading to the formation of the earliest Canadian drug user unions, most notably Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, and Drug and Alcohol Meeting Supp…
The Harms of Constructing Addiction as a Chronic, Relapsing Brain Disease
As an international network of historians and social scientists who study approaches to the management of drugs across time and place, we have noticed the effort to redefine addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disease (CRBD). The CRBD model is promoted as a route to destigmatize addiction and to empower individuals to access treatment that works within that model’s terms.1 CRBD usefully recognizes that brain-based neural adaptations place ind…
The Narcotic Farm: The Rise and Fall of America's First Prison for Drug Addicts
"From its opening in 1935, the United States Narcotic Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, epitomized the nation's ambivalence about how to deal with drug addiction. On the one hand, it functioned as a compassionate and humane hospital, an 'asylum on the hill' on 1,000 acres of farmland where addicts could recover from their drug habits. On the other hand, it was an imposing federal prison built for the incarceration of drug addicts. 'Narco, ' as it was …
Enacting Fentanyl Tests Strips for Overdose Prevention: The Socio-Material Transformation of “Suspect Technologies” into “Technologies of Solidarity”
Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) make possible rapid visual determinations of whether or not fentanyl is present in a given drug supply. This article places FTS within the historical contexts of drug-checking for drug control, overdose prevention, and harm reduction in North America. Following Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) as artifacts made to signify and enact possibilities other than those for which they were developed and licensed, this article contrib…

Just Say Know: A Social History of How Naloxone Came to Matter
This keynote speech for “Changing Minds: Societies, States, the Science and Psychoactive Substances in History,” the annual meeting of the Alcohol and Drugs History Society, was delivered on Thursday, June 13, 2019, at Shanghai University in China. Drawing attention to the knowledge questions embedded in the harm reduction movement, this talk examines how naloxone—a narcotic antagonist approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1971…

When Should Screening and Surveillance Be Used during Pregnancy
Using the ethical and legal concept of shared responsibility for healthy births, this article considers social, cultural, and historical contexts in which medicalization and criminalization have worked in tandem to widen surveillance in ways that intensify scrutiny of women's lives under the guise of child protection, bringing women who are pregnant, postpartum, or parenting under criminal justice control. Although pregnant and postpartum women a…
The ineffable: A framework for the study of methods through the case of mid-century mind-brain sciences
Conventionally, the story of modern research methods has been told as the gradual ascendancy of practices that scientists designed to extract evidence out of minds and bodies. These methods, which we call ‘methods of extraction’, have not been the exclusive ways in which experts have generated evidence. In a variety of case studies, scholars in Science and Technology Studies have persuasively documented scientists’ efforts to know the extra-lingu…
Gender and Critical Drug Studies: An invitation and an exhortation

Sarah G. Mars, The Politics of Addiction: Medical Conflict and Drug Dependence in England since the 1960s
Over the past half-century, drug users' experiences of health care, treatment and sense of self have fluctuated according to the contentious politics and institutional structures of organised medicine in England. The Politics of Addiction is a tale of intrigue in which a core conflict over values, interests and practices led to a spectacular lack of professional consensus and a form of regulatory flexibility perilous to career and character withi…

Incitements to Discourse: Illicit Drugs, Harm Reduction, and the Production of Ethnographic Subjects
This essay traces a brief genealogy of state-funded drug ethnography and its relationship to public health projects such as HIV prevention. Ethnographic research on drug use was a critical part of making invisible practices visible in ways that rendered them amenable to intervention. The essay goes on to describe how harm-reduction norms were promulgated through the bottom-up tactics of health-oriented social movements, and simultaneously adminis…

Suspect Technologies: Scrutinizing the Intersection of Science, Technology, and Policy
Drug testing is widely deployed in the United States throughout the public and private sectors. This case study uses two emergent drug-testing technologies-hair analysis and the sweat patch-as examples of techniques of governance that should be subjected to the political equivalent of strict scrutiny. The article contributes to conceptual debates in science and technology studies, arguing that the study of social structure and subject formation s…

Technologies of Suspicion: Coercion and Compassion in Post-disciplinary Surveillance Regimes
Drug-use surveillance systems appear in this paper as symptomatic “technologies of suspicion” that constitute a set of empirical modes for producing and interpreting “data” or test results in ways that conflate prediction with prescription, acting as technological forms of supervision, monitoring, supposed deterrence, and ultimately control. Technologies of suspicion are predicated upon a framework of trust; they are deployed within a “system of …
